New icons from Andrzej Ambroż / Jendrzych:
- Bespoke icon for creating new Collections
- Special icons for Rigid Body and Rigid Body Constraints (Physics Properties)
- New icons for Holdout and Indirect Only toggles in the Outliner
- New generic Cursor icon for cases that are not related to either Orientation or Pivot
Many other tweaks to existing icons, including:
- Add & Remove Keyframe
- Weight Paint & Collision Modifier
- Tablet Pressure Sensitivity
- Playback icons
The goal is to prevent assignment of temporary or evaluated meshes
to objects from the main database.
Majority of the change is actually related on passing reports around.
On a positive side there are more error prints which can become more
visible to scripters.
There are still possible further improvements in the related areas.
For example, disable user counting for evaluated ID datablocks when
assignment happens. But can also happen later on as a separate
improvement.

No major API change here, only in the outliner restriction column
variables (e.g., show_restrict_column_selectable > show_restrict_column_select).
* Get rid of _INSTANCE (introduced on b1af682001).
* Differentiate (everywhere but the API) between HIDE (temporary) and VIEWPORT (global).
* Use the expected icon for restrict viewport (same as objects and modifiers).
* selectable > select
In the outliner we don't have yet a clear distinction for the users of when
to use each of the visibility settings.
This changes that by properly naming the property and their tooltips.
I'm also unifying the naming between the rna properties and the outliner
for collections and objects (e.g., so collection and object hide_select
have the same tooltips everywhere).
The API did not change.
- Fix 'ddisable' typo
- Use clearer names for the operators in the Collections context menu
Instead of Set Exclude / Clear Exclude, we now use Enable in View Layer / Disable from View Layer
See T61578 for discussions and mockups.
Visibility Options
==================
We are adding more granular control over restriction columns in the outliner,
exposing "indirect only" and "holdout" as options, and change the way
users enable/disable collections in a viewlayer.
We also rename the object viewport restriction to hide instance.
So the options we have are:
Collection
----------
* Render Visibility
* Instance Visibility
* Selectable
(View) Layer Collection
-----------------------
* Enable
* Holdout
* Indirect Only
* Viewport
Shortcuts
=========
Isolate Collection
------------------
* Ctr + click isolates the collection.
It turns all its parents and children "visible", and all the other
collections "invisible".
If ALL the collections were already properly set, we re-set the
collections to their default value.
Set Collection Inside Collections and Objects
---------------------------------------------
* Shift + click: Set/unset inside collections and objects.
We only set objects values as well when we are in View Layer mode and
(obviously) when the objects have a matching property.
Icons
=====
Little reminder that we will need better icons for holdout, indirect only, and
probably instanced (nothing wrong with the current, but it differs from
the proposal when it is turned off).
Also, we need to decide where do we want the modifier/bones/... icons to
be (in which column) and ideally make sure their icons match the ones we
use for collections/objects.
At the moment those are using the screen icon, which is not being used
by collections.

New icons from Andrzej Ambroż / jendrzych:
- New icons for select tool modes
- Brought back screen icon for viewport visibility toggles
- Added new Instanced visibility toggle (unused currently - meant for forthcoming updates to the Outliner)
- New Gizmo icon for the header
- Many tweaks and alterations to existing icons. Full list on Devtalk
- Use correct icon when Proportional Editing is disabled
- Use Display As rather than Draw Type, following naming conventions
- Rename Advanced subpanel to Stretching, since that more accurately describes what it's for
Currently it is not possible to view the vertex colors of an object. To
optimize the workflow, workbench will need to support Vertex Colors.
The Vertex Colors is a new option in `shading->color_type`. When objects
do not have vertex color, the objects will be rendered with the
`V3D_SHADING_OBJECT_COLOR`.
In order to support vertex colors in workbench the current texture/solid
shading structure is migrated to a primary shaders and fallback shaders.

Each space had separate operators, duplicating logic.
Use RNA properties instead so adding the ability to toggle other
region types (floating redo region for eg) doesn't need to have an
extra operator per space type.
It's also nicer to show a check-box for something which can be toggled.
When in Axis alligned orthographic view a grid was always displayed.
With this change the user can enable/disable this grid.
The Grid is always visible and editable, but only rendered active when user is in quad view, or axis aligned ortho view.

The popover for displaying gizmos now has options for
empty, light & camera gizmos.
Transform toggles are now checkboxes, which has the advantage that it's
more obvious they can be mixed however changing from one to another now
uses 3x clicks instead of a single click-drag action.
We might need a faster way to switch between transform types.
Based on feedback from animators, this is useful to keep as a view
option (as in 2.7x).
Now the transform gizmos can be enabled from the popover,
the tools still work for location/scale/rotation.
The transform tool has been removed.

Switching shader modes to material or render during a sculpting session
showed the model when the sculptsession was started. The user needed
to click that forced an update of the sculptsession.
In `sculpt_flush_update` the eevee drawing mesh is not updated when
workbench engine is used.
When manually selecting a different image, this image will become pinned and
continue to show. The material node is not automatically modified as it was in
old Blender versions, only the image displayed in the UV editor.
Fixes T61239: confusing behavior when unwrapping non-square images. By showing
the relevant image by default it's more clear why it does aspect correction.
Convention was not to but after discussion on 918941483f we agree its
best to change the convention.
Names now mostly follow RNA.
Some exceptions:
- Use 'nodetrees' instead of 'nodegroups'
since the struct is called NodeTree.
- Use 'gpencils' instead of 'grease_pencil'
since 'gpencil' is a common abbreviation in the C code.
Other exceptions:
- Leave 'wm' as it's a list of one.
- Leave 'ipo' as is for versioning.
In accordance with T56648.
- Render Border -> Render Region
- Clipping Border -> Clipping Region
- Instancing 'Scale' -> 'Scale to Face Size'
- Instancing 'Rotation' -> 'Align to Vertex Normal'
Python API is left as-is, for now.

The option is separated from the solid mode color option.
Random color uses the same method as solid mode.
Selection state is indicated by a brighter color that is outside the
brightness range of the unselected state colors. The active state is
indicated by the outlines that is, now, still drawn in wireframe mode.
Coloring of the selection / active outline is not optimal because it
can look ugly in some cases of color combination. But the outline color
is using index range coloring so it's not trivial to change the color of
the outline per object. For now we use the same outline color used in solid
mode for consistency and also still add an emphasis on the selected objects.
The Single color option uses the theme color. Maybe it would be nice to
change the name of it in a latter commit to avoid confusion.
- Makes it possible to show a vertical line for every marker in the graph editor.
- Makes the marker line visiblity optional in the sequencer and graph editor.
